i'm the first star burning out
i'm visible with the naked eye
and there's no turning back
(i say no turning back)

light years away from this human mess

nobody wake me, nobody save me
nobody reach me, can nobody teach me?
nobody wake me, nobody save me
nobody reach me, can nobody teach me?

can nobody teach me?

thrustin' my body out
i've gotta get off this place
how does one miss the ground
and end up in space?

it's a specious attempt at life

nobody wake me, nobody save me
nobody reach me, can nobody teach me?
nobody wake me, nobody save me
nobody reach me, can nobody teach me?

burning out at 200,000 miles an hour
my violent tails of gases are the seeds of life
pollenating the galaxies young and old
dying stars are the honey bees of the universe

where is the queen?
